[cool][#0000ff]Both he divers' booties and the fins will work. Lots of tubers (myself included) only use the divers boots and not heavier wading shoes.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]BUT....I would not buy either without being able to try them on for fit. The booties need to be able to pull on over your waders...comfortably. And the fins also need to fit snugly but not too tightly over the booties. Too tight and you will get constriction. Too loose and you will lose a fin.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]And don't just wear the fins over your foot pocket on stockingfoot waders. You DO need the boots both for protection while walking on rough surfaces and for protection against the fins tearing up the back of the foot portion of your waders.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]On a personal note, I hate those fins. Tried a pair once and found them to be much less efficient than the divers fins I now use. But as with all gear items it is always a matter of personal preference and we all have different styles and opinions.[/#0000ff]
